Campus Chaos, Holy Week, And More On The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this Friday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! 

Brett kicks off the program talking about the value of space exploration, arguing that investing in space doesn't take away from Earth but can actually improve life here. The show quickly shifts gears into a fiery critique of the Democratic Party, accusing it of prioritizing illegal immigration and radical campus activism over core American values. Brett references Senator Chris Van Hollen, claiming he's aligning with criminal groups like MS-13 and even joking about future lobbying for terrorist organizations. He slams elite universities like Harvard and Yale, calling them failed institutions corrupted by extremism.

Later in the show, we're joined by Father Bill Nicholas from Corpus Christi Church in Evansville, Indiana to discuss the significance of Holy Thursday and the beginning of the Easter Triduum. Father Bill explains that while Lent technically ends, the Church enters the Paschal Fast—three days of continuous worship leading to Easter. He breaks down how Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil were once a single celebration and are now observed as one extended act of worship. Brett and Father Bill reflect on the emotional impact of Good Friday, especially the symbolic absence of Christ in the empty tabernacle.

Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Thursday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Bo talk about the success of their recent “News and Brews” event and the value of connecting with listeners in person. They reflect on the strong turnout, engaging conversations, and the sense of community that came from mingling with both longtime fans and new attendees. The two highlight how encouraging it is to get real-time feedback from the audience and share a lighthearted moment about Brett wearing a tank top to the event. They also touch on the importance of having civil conversations across political divides, referencing a friendly exchange with listener Mike Dasely. The conversation shifts to current headlines, including Giorgia Meloni s visit with Donald Trump and the current economic mood surrounding tariffs and market fluctuations. Bo also shares what He and Beth have coming up Friday on Good Morning BT!
